When Kirsten meets cool, wealthy Travis she doesn't realize he's a swindler--while she overlooks Matt, a neat guy--till her life's in danger.
The speckled trout, the handsomest freshwater fish in North America, preys on other fish.
A perfect description of Travis.
A newcomer in Wauconda, Travis lives like a prince, drives a vintage Cadillac convertible, and treats Kirsten like the princess of a fairy tale kingdom.
Everything seems fine until, overhearing a conversation, she discovers he's a world-class swindler--and that her life's now in danger.
Meanwhile Matt, who lost his wife in a tragic accident five months ago, wants to start seeing Kirsten, though his brother insists it's way too soon. Matt's manly in a way Travis will never be. Why can't Kirsten see this?
Hoping to eliminate his competition by catching Travis in the act, Matt sets up an ingenious sting.
But Kirsten will have to risk everything to provide the information Matt needs.
Many neighbors are praying for Travis. Might he yet see himself as he really is?
A tale of redemption.
